Lyrics:

Life caught my eye when silence rang out of key
Watching the weather got me through my routine
Show me your heaven
I stand above my feet
Falling on feathers fucked up the machine

Amp to eleven
Glad we die in sin
On a bed for the broken
Digging holes in the zone
All the bad manners rule the submarine
‘Cause falling on feathers fucked up the machine

Fed up with heaven
I’d rather stay low key
Falling on feathers got kind of obsolete

Lyrics:

Stoned
Two days straight
Kick up the song
Drown out howling
Dawn
No end in sight
The party goes on intertwined
Too loose for tracking time
The next cause will come sneaky in the honey land

Is it the next song we’ll be proud of?

Go for the prowl
Cook up the firework for the howling
Don‘t wait for tangled rhymes
The party goes on intertwined
Too loose for tracking time
The next cause will come sneaky in the honey land

Clap In The Track

Tom Silkman is an alternative indie and psychedelic rock artist known for his immersive instrumental soundscapes. His latest album, «Bringer Of The Sky», is a deeply personal, self-produced journey born from a period of transformation. After experiencing one of the darkest times in his life, Silkman revisited old, unfinished recordings as part of his healing process. Around the same time, he discovered the lap steel/slide guitar, falling in love with its ethereal tones. This newfound inspiration led him to complete a fully instrumental album, allowing him to explore music in a fresh, uninhibited way.
Without the need to write lyrics, Silkman rekindled another creative passion—visual art—designing the album’s artwork himself. Released via his own label, Fuzztronaut Records, Bringer Of The Sky blends dreamy, reverb-drenched guitar work with hypnotic rhythms, making it a must-listen for fans of Khruangbin, LA LOM, Wilco and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
